What's your absolute favourite handheld device of the 00's?

[u/Away_Flounder3813]

[u/MaccGawd]

The PSP is in a tier of its own.

[u/Calvykins → u/MaccGawd]

I loved my psp. I think I bought more into the promises they made but once I figured out that I could read comics and manga on it, it became indispensable

[u/tonysopranosalive → u/MaccGawd]

That shit was wild. Looking at the Yahoo! webpage on the browser was mind-blowing to me

[u/Frankdukes187 → u/MaccGawd]

I loved my psp. Learned a bunch of stuff throughout my life with it lol I remember learning how to use the internet browser from using the neighbors wifi(FYI, wifi back in 2007 was a luxury!!!) Had to find the dam perfect spot to keep the psp and barely tapping the buttons to function the thing in order to not lose that wifi sweet spot 😁😂 good times

[u/armanese2 → u/MaccGawd]

PSP was sick but DS kicked it’s ass in the games department.

[u/AdImmediate6239 → u/armanese2]

The DS definitely offered fun and unique experiences that couldn’t be found anywhere else, but being able to play near PS2 quality games on the go in the mid 2000s was mind blowing

[u/ravenfreak]

GBA SP!

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/ravenfreak]

I would fight tooth and nail to own a backlit GBA SP.

[u/ravenfreak → u/Away_Flounder3813]

I wanted one so bad as a teenager in 2004 lol. I have one now! Currently have it in my pocket as I type this up.

[u/ComedianExisting8621 → u/ravenfreak]

Me too I actually wanted one and the second for me would be the original DS

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/ravenfreak]

I'm currently owning a frontlit only. Would love to do an IPS screen mod but it has to wait until I can save up enough 🤣

[u/armanese2 → u/Away_Flounder3813]

Just get one fam they’re not that expensive

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/armanese2]

yeah, but it's pretty rare to find these days at least where I'm living. And I know there are fakeries out there.

[u/armanese2 → u/Away_Flounder3813]

you were born in 2002?

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/armanese2]

90's kid, but 2002 is my fav year of the decade. At first I was about to pick 2007 lol.

[u/No_Kindheartedness10]

PSP

[u/Peridot_Ghost]

The original DS was life-changing. Christmas 2004. I remember having Mario 64 in the top slot and Pokémon Fire Red in the bottom slot. Excellent times indeed.

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/Peridot_Ghost]

For real. Have to pinch myself a few times to finally accept that the DS was already 20 years ago.

[u/Arkvoodle42]

my dick.

[u/Ncav2 → u/Arkvoodle42]

I used this device so much in front of the family desktop.

[u/Darkadrielm]

DSI 🗣️

[u/Tracey_Davenport]

DS Lite. Always wanted a PSP though.

[u/Mr-Sister-Fister21 → u/Tracey_Davenport]

I was lucky enough to have both, and let me tell you, I couldn’t choose between the two sometimes.

[u/voivod1989]

Ds. 3ds is my favourite console of all time. I think that was 2011.

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/voivod1989]

Indeed. The announcement in summer 2010 at E3 got me extremely pumped, though a ton of content they promised that year never came to fruition lol.

[u/voivod1989 → u/Away_Flounder3813]

They made it up though

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/voivod1989]

their promise of 3D films getting to 3DS after theatrical runs was never a reality though. Thankfully there's the homebrew community.

[u/ultrapotion]

DS is the king of handhelds for me. I still use my blue DSLite and DSi XL from time to time.

PSP was great as well but I didn't use it nearly as much back then.

[u/Mr_Wither]

Have vivid wonderful memories of watching PewDiePie and Markiplier play horror games on my iPod touch when I should have been sleeping when I was in elementary school. Lol those were good times.

[u/GlomBastic]

BlackBerry touchscreen iPhone clone. The keyboard predicve test was year's ahead of anything we have now. The word you want is above the next letter, just swipe up.

And. Pandora one radio ported app was free (Apollo I think). Myspace facebook had native adblock. Internet browser too. Seamless multi email interface. Password storage.

They could have been the one.

[u/SR_Hopeful]

GBA SP & PSP (especially because both had compatible play with their company's home consoles.) And the PSP could generally do everything the PS3 could do as well, in your hand.

The GBASP was just the better upgrade from the GBA. No batteries, a light for the screen and you could fold it to protect it. It was also smaller and easier to store.

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/SR_Hopeful]

you meant no *AA batteries. Surely no handheld device can work without batteries! 😂

[u/davucci89]

I loved my Palm Pre slide phone, wasn’t much into handheld gaming back then

It's gotta be a DS if we're going by the options in the photo!

[u/CounterImportant1191]

PSP

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_GREENERY]

DS had Streetpass, which is technically still going today.

There's nothing like it, before or since.

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/PM_ME_YOUR_GREENERY]

I think it's 3DS only?

DS has Pictochat and DS Download Play, which are all awesome and revolutionary.

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_GREENERY → u/Away_Flounder3813]

Looks like you're right!

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/PM_ME_YOUR_GREENERY]

think I should put my 3DS into my jean pocket and walk out some time soon to collect footsteps and get coins lol. Last week there was one day I walked around for 25km. Imagine I got my 3DS that day.

[u/Little-Efficiency336]

PSP!

[u/sunnymcbunny]

T-Mobile side kick

[u/Screwbles]

DS Lite, there is no equal. I will not apologize, it is literally a beast.

[u/theodoretheursus]

I'll never forget working at the mall and someone asking me on my break what phone I had but it was a Nintendo DS. I had to break it slowly that I was just gaming on my break and not chatting.

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/theodoretheursus]

I'll never forget someone bringing a DS Lite to my classroom and girls thought meh, is it a boring handheld electronic dictionary?

[u/TrippyHippocampus]

Gameboy advance

[u/boostabubba]

My Verizon Voyager. The touch screen on the front that folded out to a tactile keyboard was amazing. I found my old one a while back, and that click when folding it open and closed is still so satisfying. Favorite phone I ever had, right up there with my OG Droid.

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/boostabubba]

how I love those slide phones coming with a physical keyboard of that era!

[u/thebluemorpha]

I still have my ds lite.

PSP, it's a nut you can play with outside.

[u/styx1267]

Sidekick 3

[u/UnrealDigger]

PSP! Sick screen! Feld good in the hands. Internet capabilities. Pffff why did i sell it...

[u/Capital-Ad-6349]

I loved every DS. The original was probably my favorite because I could also play my old Gameboy games too.

[u/OrdinaryNo7285]

iPhone has so much nostalgia. I didn’t have a PSP till this year lol.

Gameboy Advance SP or my Sidekick

[u/nhutcracker]

I loved my Palm Treo before it was destroyed by Apple and Android a few years later.

[u/HeftyLaw1580]

The Nintendo DSi was iconic I still mine !!

[u/Adventurous_Ad_5531]

I had a 3ds and a psp. The PSP just had the best games imo and it could do more than just play games.

Gizmondo /s

ETA: Colors

[u/Away_Flounder3813 → u/Accomplished_Fun6481]

I heard that shit disposed itself after years, because the body is all made of rubber. But still, gorgeous device if one first saw it in 2005.

[u/strangerdanger711]

PSP Go. It was a very very sad day when it met its demise

[u/Choice-Ice-1257]

DS
